BATLEY POETS

Inspired by the Gujarati Writers Forum, The Yorkshire Dialect Group and local poets, the Batley Poets first assembled at the Batley Festival in 2012 and have since gathered a growing number of local poets to share the words and sentences that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.

NIGEL PARSONS

Before his current solo singer/songwriter work, Nigel Parsons performed in bands at many iconic venues; Cavern Club, Wigan Casino, Radio 1 broadcasts, supporting bands as diverse as: The Hollies, Arthur Brown, Dire Straits. His songs cover many subjects: The day after Brexit, Woody Guthrie's new year's resolutions, beachcombing ... His new album Sinistralman is scheduled for release later this year.

Three unlikely
friends take control of their office and learn there is nothing
they can't do, even in a man's world.

Pushed to boiling point, these female
co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical,
lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn
of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy
– giving their boss the boot!

9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL is based on the seminal
1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s this hilarious story of
friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous,
thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

From the traditional to the contemporary, Eddi brings joyous life to all forms of song.

Her rare blend of meltingly true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature to make her a unique and powerful figure in contemporary British music. From the warmly remembered Fairground Attraction to solo albums Love is the Way, Simple Soul, Candyfloss & Medicine, Eddi Reader and Mirmama, Eddi has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers.
